The Iron Trade Complains of Foreign
Goods

PHIADELPHIA, April Ia The bulletin OF
the American Iron and Steel association
calls attention to the menaclng Of home
industry by the increasing importation Of
iron and steel. 1t attributes much of the IN
crease of the gross undervaluations which it
says is permitted by the New York custom
house. Without such undervaluatious, il
says, heavy importation would be impossi.
BILE. Secretary Fairchild is urged to Civ.

why Woman Goes on the Stage.
From Lippincott's Magazin

From Lippincott's Magazine.
Peoplesay, "How can a well-brought.
up woman so far forget herself as to
90 on the stage 2"
/ do not propose here to defend the
stage though it has been a good friend
to me-but will epdeavor to prove
by logical sequence OF events that
for woman who has to earn her own
living, and has any talent for it, it is
the only profession that offers any
thing like adequate remuneration.
No other profession is so we'll paid.
Even in the lowest ranks Of stage-work
the pay is sufficient to live on COM
fortably and allow a. margin for dress
and saving. A chorus-singer will earn
fifteen dollars g. week, where gov
erness will earn barely four dollars,
and shop-girl six or eight dollars.
In England a gentlewoman would
rather die than go In q store. 1t is
not eenteel! She cannot be g. tele-
graph clerk, for the same reason. The
only geuteel things she can do are to
teach or be a. companion; and a wo-
man who has no taste for either oil
these delectable occupations turns to
the stage as to mother, and finds

The Medallion on Coins.
Ron. PerIav PoOre


When the United States mint was
first established, Mr. Spencer cut an
exact medallion OF Mrs. Washington,
the wife of Gen. Washington. and the
first coins were struck with her por-
trait. When Gen. Washington saw
them he was displeased, and request
ed the figure to be removed. Mr..
Spencer altered the features little,
and putting a cap upon it's head, called
it the Goddess of Liberty. This goddess
has been reproduced down to the
coins of our present deprecated silver
dollar, the head on which is the por-
trait of q young woman in Philadel-
phia.
Would IL not be well, now that a
century has almost elapsed, to begin
the second century with the head OF
the first president on our coinage,
and to follow it at regular intervals,
with the heads of other Presidents leg
end stating the dates oftheir services.
This would teach the names OF the
presidents to future generations, and
give them some idea of their features.
We have the heads of some of them
on our postage stamps; why not have
them on our coine9

The Correct Time,

There are very few men who do not pride
themselves on always having the correct
time; and wonderful and delicate mechan-
isms are devised to enable them to do SO.
But the more delicate chronometer is
made the more subject it becomes to de-
rangement, and unless it be kept always
perfectly clean, it soon loses its usefulness.
What wonder, then, that the human ma
chinese much more delicate and intricate
than any work of man-should require to
be kept thoroughly cleansed. The liver is
the handspring of this complex structure
and on the impurities left in the blood by a
disordered liver, depend most of the ills
that flesh is heir to. Even consumption
(Which is lung-scrofula), is traceable to the
imperfect action of this organ. Kidney dis
eases, skin diseases, sick headache, heart
disease, dropsy, and a long catalogue of
grave maladies have their origin in a torpid
or sluggish liver. DR.. Pierce's Golden Med
ical Discovery, by establishing a healthy
normal action of the liver, acts as a cure and
preventive of these diseases

The Weight of q Signature.
From the Safety Valve.


In g. Broadway store, which Is g.
branch of big out of.town scale fac
tory, are more different kinds of
scales than most people imagine were
ever made. There are specimens of
every grade of weighing machine,
from the big track scales that can
weigh a railroad car full of pig lead
down to tiny balance SO fine that it
is kept in q ass case which could be
carried in ones pocket. The smallest
scales of all are made for delicate
tests in assaying. They are adjusted
to milligrammes, and are SO sensitive
and so fine that an eyelash can be
correctly weighed on them. You can
write your name on slip of paper
with q lead pencil, and then find out
just how much your signature weighs.
The weights are mere atoms of alum
mum, not half so large as the head of
a pin. The machine is so delicate
that g. little dust blowing in from the
street might affect it's workings, and
it has to be carefully cleaned after
each exposure. 1t is made of alum
mum, platinum, and the finest tenn
pered steel, and people do not use it
as g. plaything as g. general rule. 1t
costs as much as its weight in gold.
Every once in while skeptic comes
along who doesn't believe it will weigh
a hair from a mans head, and if the
manager of the store has plenty Of
time at his disposal he will bring out
the wonderful little machine and
operate it. A reporter happened in
the other day while the operation
was going on. The manager took a.
slip of ordinary writing paper and
weighed it. It weighed thirty-eight
milligrammes. He then gave it to the
visitor, with a lead pencil, and the
visitor wrote "John Henry Larned"
on it in full, free hand. Then the
manager put the slip back on the scale
and fixed the little weights. When he
struck balance again he had forty
three milligramnes Oh the other
side. Then the man pulled g.
hair out of his head, and the
manager found it weighed three MILL

Curious CLOCKS.

From the Universal Tinker
When the Emperor Charles ", OF
Spain, retired to the monastery of ST..
Yuste he took with him Torriano, his
clock-m aker, in order to while away
| the time by constructing the move
ments of clocks. So wonderful were
some of the pieces of work which they
made that the monks could not be-
lieve any one except the devil had g.
hand IN them until the machinery
was shown to them by the x-Emper-
or. It was ordered by Charles that
when he should die all of these clocks
should cease running-a it is said
to be g. fact that his orders were
obeyed.
Another king of Spain came to
Geneva to see q clock which had been
made by Droz, a merchant of that
city. Upon the clock were seated a
shepherd, q negro and dog. AS the
hour was struck, the shepherd played
upon his flute, and the dog played
gently at his feet. But when the king
reached forth TO touch an apple that
hung from tree, under which the
shepherd rested, the dog flew at him
ana barked at him SO furiously that q
live dog answered him, and the whole
party left in haste. Venturing to re-
turn, one of the courtiers asked the
negro in Spanish what time it was.
There was no reply; but, when the
question was repeated in French, an
answer was given. This frightened
the courtier, who rejo;ned his COM
panions, and all of them voted that
the clock was the work of the evil one.
Upon the belfry of the Kauthaus,
in Coblentz there is the head of g.
giant and helmeted with
brass. The giants head is known as
''the man in the custom house,"
and whenever countryman meets g.
citizen of Coblentz away from that
place, instead of saying GLOW are all
our friends in Coblentz," he asks:
Chow is the man in the custom
house?" At every stroke of the bell
which sounds the hours upon the
clock the mouth of the giant opens
and shuts with great force, as if it
were trying to say, in the words of
Longfellow: "Time was-Time is
Time ia past

employment she can

there the ready employment she can
get nowhere else.
On the stage she has the hope OF get
ting on and making q fortune, and,
above all, she finds herself among peo-
pie who are willing to receive her with
open arms if she is pleasant. Here
are no restrictions of purse or caste.
All are her brothers and sisters, and it
lies with her and her alone whether
her new family shall respect and look
up to her, or pass her down sadly ya to
the nobility of their aim and sacrificed
all for q short life of foolish merri-
ment.
No wonder that poorgirls of the bet
ter classes go on the stage, when they
see how much is to be done there, and
then grarde dispassionately the few
other modes of earning a livelihood.

OF NO USE TO HIM.

She had an eye of witching blue,
She had cheek of crimson hue,
She had a wealth of golden hair
Which ripp'ed over shoulders fair
As any lily, lips asred
AS coral from the oceans bed,
And whitest teeth that e'er were seen
Their rosy portals flashed between.
A hand small, shapcly, soft, and fair,
Dione's daughter form and air,
step as light as sportive fawn.
A smile as sweet as summer dawn
When fair Aurora tints the skies
With colors caught from Paradise:
A voice as sweet as orioles song
The sweetest of the feathered throng-
A temper amiable and mild.
The artlessness that marks the child
All these in form and nina were blent;
But then she hadn't got cent.

A Useful Precaution.

1t is useful precaution for the tourist the
commercial traveller or the emigrant to the
West. to take along Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.
lnvalids who travel by steamboat or rail should
provide themselves with it. in order to prevent
or remedy the nausea which the Earring and Vi
bration of vehicles dp trdtsitU often causes
them. Vastly preferable is it for this simple,
but needful purpose to the heady unmedicated
stimulants of commerce. On board ship, it not
only remedies sea-sickness, but neutralizes the
pernicious effects of water slightly brackish
which, if unqualified, is apt to give rise to ir-
regularities of the bowels, cramps in the alb
demina1 region, and dyspepsia. To the aerial
